Fear of violence.

Instinct. Not a rule.

Well let the Beta Wolf hop out there and see what happens.

If the Beta doesn't want his ass kicked he'll do what the alpha wants.
There is no rule dictating who is the alpha, what the alpha can or cannot do, when HR needs to get involved.
It's all basic instinct.
Instinct tells all wolves to reproduce as many of it's lineage as possible. Only the strongest can do so.

No rules. Get your ass kicked and live to try another day, or die without trying. It's up to each wolf to determine their own pain tolerance.

You are over-thinking this.....

No.

It's just a fact. Do you really believe animals have "Regulations"? "Principles governing conduct"?

It was a simple comment of what separates humans from animals. We have rules about what speed to drive, what color our shutters can be, what age a person can have sex with persons of other ages, and how we can post on a forum.
Animals are not constrained by rules of any kind except by which the stronger pushes on them.

rule
/ro͞ol/

   one of a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere.

What can we learn from watching animals play? Dogs chase each other and wrestle. Cats pounce and bite. These animals may look like they are fighting, but if you pay close attention— as world-renowned biologist Marc Bekoff does—you can see they are playing and learning the rules of their games. In Animals at Play, Bekoff shows us how animals behave when they play, with full-color illustrations showing animals in action and having fun—from squirrels climbing up a tree to polar bears somersaulting in the snow.

Rules have always been intended to protect the weak from the strong. If there were no rules, the weak would be destroyed as quickly as the strong allowed. The most intelligent of all time have always the physically weak and they have survived by their higher intelligence and the rules that were created to protect them. They are also the inventors. There is little doubt that if rules had not been put into place, we would still be riding horses and pulling wagons with oxen. The strong have always destroyed the weak because they have always feared their intelligence and ability to change things.

That is the nature of the beast. Kill to survive, survive to kill.

They are not learning rules. They are learning who is stronger/faster/smarter.

They are not learning rules. They are learning who is stronger/faster/smarter.

And the rule is if you are not younger faster smarter then you get on the short bus

And humans cannot just beat someone weaker or kill someone because we want to eat first.
WE have invented rules.

 

[BigKen]

WE have invented rules.

Think about it for just one minute......................................

Everything we eat was living at one time. From the grain that is cut and milled to a cow that is stunned and butchered. Vegans who detest the slaughter of animals enjoy killing every plant that they stuff in their mouths to the living fruit ripped from its life source off a tree. Who made the determination or has absolute proof that plants don't feel pain when sliced or plucked? Because they don't have a nervous system that we have never been able to detect, doesn't guarantee that they don't.

We invent rules to protect ourselves from ourselves.

A lot of truth.

We invent rules to protect the weak from the strong, protect the honest from the deceitful. to protect the rich from the poor, protect the naive from the cunning.
These "Rules" are all based on group morals or which Karen's wine the loudest.

Cannibalism? Against the rules. except for some secluded Aboriginals. Sex with a 13 year old that has fully "Developed"? Against the rules except by some Indigenous peoples of South America and Bill Clinton. 6" high grass? against the rules of HOA's nation wide. Screwing your (of age) neighbors wife? Against the rules of every Christian religion yet. Except for those that are the actual ministers...Installing a hearing protection device on the end of your gun? Against the rules.

Dogs establishing dominance is not a rule, it's instinctual and doesn't compare.

So if a mother canine wild or domestic teaches her pups

Don't mess with rattlesnakes
Don't eat that
Run from fire

Those are not rules in the animal kingdom? They are not written rules like man has but there are rules of survival calling them instinct simply because it's not written does not mean it's not a rule in their world

And if a canine, wild or domestic, is never exposed to fire, rotten carrion, or a rattle snake but knows to run from a fire and to avoid a rattle snake as an adult, where did it learn these rules? It's instinctual.

It's not "one of a set of explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct within a particular activity or sphere"
Why are so many kids afraid of spiders? It's instinctual. Of all the primary and secondary education I have had I never once read a rule telling me to be afraid of spiders.

I did read a rule telling me to not bring my Leatherman through the metal detector at the court house though.
I was also made aware through repetition (repeated reinforcement) that the rule was no dessert unless I ate my dinner.
I was also made aware through trauma (A spanking) don't lean back in your chair at the dinner table.

I did read a sign in the smokey mountains (Cades Cove) Don't feed the Bear. It's a rule that many do not follow.
I did not see a sign telling the bear to bite people if they don't feed you. Nor did Mama Bear teach it.

It is instinctual.

Is it a rule that your hand will burn if you touch lava?
No, it's fucking physics.
